…ire. Most pure, The single spirit of my godhead yearned From death to reap dominion, and from birth To pluck the blossom of its fruitful love, And be the sun to ripen and the rain To water it. My soul became the bride To its own body, and my body leapt With passion from mine own imperial loins Begotten, and made strong from my own soul To answer it. I hail thee, son of mine, Thou royal offspring of a kingly sire, Less kingly for the single flower of love! I hail thee, son, the secret spouse of me, King of my body and this realm to-day ! For lo!…

150 MYSTERIES: Fill to the brim with lustrous dew, nor fail To leave the blossom and the nightingale, Love’s earlier kiss, and manhood’s glowing prime, These us suffice. Shall manfor Fate prevail? Lo, we are blind, and dubious fingers grope In Despair’s dungeon for the key of Hope ; Lo, we are chained, and with a broken rhyme Would file our fetters and enlarge our scope. Yet ants may move the mountain ; none is small But he who stretches out no arm at all; Toadstools have wrecked fair cities in a night, One poet’s song may bid a kingdom fall. A…

…hrough the temperate world of spring, Air moves up in a sweet hot steam, Where the birds in the wheatfields sing; She the queen, and our love the king, Rule the world, and our banners stream Gold and green where the vine-leaves cling. While the moon is above the heather Here we lie in a pleasant swoon, Till the blue of the faint fresh weather - Summon the spirits that throng the noon. Here we lie, till the dawn’s best boon Of a breeze that shall gladden us both together, Kissing beneath the harvest moon.

VIII You love me! trite and idle word to darken (With all its glow) the splendour of our sun! No soul of heaven or hell may hearken The unbearable device that we have done. Nor may Justine nor Borgia understand Nor Messalina nor Maria guess The infernal chorus swelling darkly grand That echoed us our everlasting ’ Yes! ’ Nor shall the Gods perceive to damn or praise The deed that shakes their essence into dust, Disrupts their dreams, divides their dreary days. Supreme, abominable, rides our lust Armed in the panoply of brazen youth And strength…

…e of lying, Free from golds illusion, and free to cherish Joys of life diviner than war and passion Falsest of phantoms. Only now true love, like a sun of molten Glory, surging up from a sea of liquid Silver, golden, exquisite, overflowing, Soars into starland. Sphere on sphere unite in the chant of wonder Star to star must add to the glowing chorus ; Sun and moon must mingle and speed the echo Flaming through heaven. Night and day divide, and the music strengthens, Gathers roar of seas and the dirge of moorlands ; Tempest, thunder, birds, an…

The Brothers of A A are one with the Mother of the Child. The Many is as adorable to the One as the One is to the Many. This is the Love of These; creation‐parturition is the Bliss of the One; coition‐dissolution is the Bliss of the Many. The All, thus interwoven of These, is Bliss. Naught is beyond Bliss. The Man delights in uniting with the Woman; the Woman in parting from the Child. The Brothers of A A are Women; the Aspirants to A A are Men. It is important to reflect that this card is wholly feminine, wholly virginal, for it repre‐ s…

Thou hadst a torch to lume my lips to song ; Thou hast a cooler fountain for my thirst, Lest my young love should work thy fame a wrong } So the grape’s veins in purple ardour burst, And opiates in bloomless gardens throng, And Life, a moon, wanes fast ; But to thy garden richer buds belong And hardier flowers, and Love, a death- less sun, Flames eager to the last, And young desires in fleeter revels run, And Life revives, and all the flowers rejoice, Bird and light butterfly have made their choice, Creation h…

… Travellers! Mine host! Open the door !” Desunt cetera. In the second part—a joyous inn fireside —the Earl refuses power, knowledge, and love (offered him by a guest) by the symbolic drink of ale and the cherry cheeks of the maid. In part three she, coming secretly to him, warns him he must destroy the three vices, faith, hope, and charity. This he does easily, save the love of the figure of the Crucified; but at last conquering this, he attains. [These were never written.] 1 The mystic mountain of the Rosicrucians,

How flames that scarlet stronger than Apollo, Too swift and warm to know itself a bird! How the light winds and waves of moonlight follow, Shot from the West, cadence of Daylight’s word ! How flock the tribes of wings within the hollow, Even as darkness summons home the herd ! The still slow water slackens into sleep. The rose-glow dies, leaves cold Citlaltepetl’s? steep. The chatte…
